(Outdoors in the Land o’Lakes,Caterpillar Invasion, Jun 23/16). I was glad to learn there are 2 types, one with a tent, one without. We have encountered both in our trees. I tried the soap and water and propane torch for awhile to try to control them but I read about hornet spray killing them instantly, so I tried it and we now have very few tent or forest caterpillars. I go out in the spring when I start to see them just before dusk and spray the nest once and I’m done for the year. I have been doing this for about 10 years and last year we had none, this year a few due to nests on the other side of my fence. The Hornet spray is by far the easiest method I have found and has kept my apple trees free of them for years. Thank you for the info.
